Internship Programs
An Internship is an experiential learning opportunity in which the academic knowledge gained in your college courses is applied to a supervised work situation. This combination of work and academics enhances your overall knowledge base, allows you to sharpen your current skill set, and enables you to develop real workplace competencies. Preparation is the key to getting the most out of your internship.
The following steps can make your internship more fulfilling:
- Do some research into the types of positions or jobs you might enjoy.
- Prepare yourself mentally for the demands an internship can pose.
- Make certain you devote time to this course.
- Maintain a positive attitude during this experience.
Internships are often part-time, between 10 and 25 hours per week. However, the required number of hours varies depending on academic program requirements. Students who have questions about internships should reach out to Career Services or the Program Director for their academic major.
